For those who are still frustrated with the CUPS GUI, how would you improve it?
Instead of bitching on/. about how you would improve it, maybe some of these frustrated people should actually get off their asses and get involved in the project.
There's the question. If you can't use this machine without Windows at all (preferably without buying a copy of Windows, as well), then I'm not interested.
I keep reading that it's a "Windows XP" system. What does that mean? Is it a general-purpose computer like a desktop or a laptop or not? Or something weird like Windows in a ROM?
I was unemployed for nine months in 2002 and was able to find something below my skills about a year ago that I've managed to hang onto.
I'm absolutely ready to be in on somebody's start-up if they're interested in someone working from their home office. Say, a moonlighting deal initially where I get to keep this gig to pay the bills.
I've been looking for a different job every couple of days since I got this one, never stopped looking. Let's do it, people, somebody get in touch with me. Java expert, web and non-web development, Linux preferred.
It's not the point to hide the documents offshore. But as long as we have crazy legislation that's at odds with free speech, perhaps we should put the documents into the Freenet
Content can't be deleted from the freenet as long as it continues to be requested.
From the Freenet site: "Freenet is not just theoretical, it has been downloaded by over 1.2 million users since the project started, and it is used for the distribution of censored information all over the world, including countries such as China and the Middle East."
It's not ok with me. Even if they did write me an X client I wouldn't have anything to do with a service that doesn't give me plain old MP3 files to keep for myself.
I'd rather buy real CDs and make my own MP3 files.
We shouldn't even be trusting Google as far as we do. It's a scary position of power to supply filtered data like this to the entire internet-using world.
That's really the issue here, Microsoft could come up with the fastest, most reliable, and most impartial search technologies ever developed. But they still won't be able to get rid of that funky monopolistic proprietary smell.
I think 1:3.6.1p2-6 is the fixed one, according to the bug log at the top of this thread and also what happened on one of my systems (that's got unstable).
I think this is still open because testing/unstable is patched but stable isn't getting it yet, I have another system that's based on stable and is still at 1:3.4p1-1
I'm just guessing based on what happened during apt-get install just now. Somebody correct me if this is wrong.
I absolutely agree. This "report" is bullshit. I spent 9 out of the past 12 months unemployed. There has been absolutely NO Java or C++ development work in my area for a very long time. Even looking at jobs that would be a 2-hour train ride away from home each way.
I finally got a job 3 weeks ago and gratefully accepted what they offered for a salary. And it was a massive pay cut, let me tell you.

I think a lot of people would buy games like 'Elite'. I would. A lot of people reading these threads would.
I wouldn't say consumers have more 'sophisticated tastes'. I'd say that the majority of consumers are feature-crazed and think they want more special effects above nearly all else. It's the same thing that's happened to Hollywood films. IMO the vast majority of films that come out of the industry are special-effects-laden money pits that have little or no story.
I would say that game publishers are trying to cater to the same mindless herds that the movie industry is catering to. In some ways I think it's a reflection on the societies we live in.
>people to write graphics engines, and physics models, >designers to do the design, testers to test, etc., etc.
I'm not saying that game development doesn't require a lot of effort, but it would be more cost effective and realistic, especially for small teams, if they focused on gameplay, story, etc.. and didn't worry so much about maxing out the user's system with as much junk food content as the system will take.

It's really something. It's volunteer software, you babies aren't paying anything for.
I read this, on Johnathan Scwhartz's weblog posted on July 21, 2004. He explicitly talks about Linux == Red Hat.
I then posted on my own weblog about it on July 26th.

Can anyone say how this book compares to Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment by W. Richard Stevens? I was pretty much ready to buy it today.
the Stevens book
Thanks!

Like the interface in Minority Report with the gloves. It was fantastic.

You said it, brother.

Free antivirus: for Linux I use F-Prot Antivirus http://www.f-prot.com/index.html for Windows I use AntiVir Personal http://www.free-av.com/
It was 1.21 gigawatts.

Thank you! I should have read the docs before I posted.
